The Farmer's and Emigrant's Guide-Book: being a full and complete guide for the Farmer and the Emigrant. Comprising the clearing of forests and prairie land, gardening, tanning generally, farriery, cookery, and the prevention and cure of disease. With copious hints, recipes, and tables. By Josiah F. Marshall, author of the Emigrant's Guide. Second edition, revised. Appleton & Co., 200 Broadway.

WE have rarely seen a hook that so fully redeemed the promise of its title as does the “Farmer's and Emigrant's Guide;” it contains directions and recipes for every thing that a farmer or a farmer's wife would care to know, from the construction of a house down to directions for mixing buck-wheat cakes. One of the most novel among the recipes is directions for making bread out of pine bark.
